As the legal saga between the two continues, Qualcomm is firing back after a host of tech companies came out in support of Apple last week. The chip maker is accusing the Computer & Communications Industry Association, a group that consists of companies such as Google, Samsung, and Facebook, of waging a “coordinated effort aimed at misdirecting” government regulators.

Earlier this month, Qualcomm filed a patent infringement suit against Apple seeking an import ban on iPhone models that use modem chips “other than those supplied by Qualcomm affiliates.” Essentially, this is an indirect way of saying iPhones with Intel modems. The CCIA last week came out in support of Apple, saying that such an import ban would only harm consumers by driving up smartphone prices.

Qualcomm fired back today in a filing, explaining that its import ban has nothing to do with Intel chips specifically, but rather the patented technology that they encapsulate. For this reason, Qualcomm believes that an import ban would not have a long-term effect on smartphone competition (via Reuters):

“Apple can purchase and utilize any LTE modem it chooses so long as it does not infringe Qualcomm’s asserted patents,” the company wrote.

Qualcomm was quick to note in its filing that other companies, such as MediaTek, Samsung, and Marvell Technology Group all make modems that could supply the smartphone industry should Intel’s offerings be affected by an import ban or other regulatory rulings.

When pressed for comment, Apple reiterated its position in the legal case saying Qualcomm provides the company “with a single connectivity component, but for years have been demanding a percentage of the total cost of our products – effectively taxing Apple’s innovation.”
